2013 Map of Vandemere

About this map

The waterside community of Vandemere sits at the confluence of Vandemere Cr and the wide Bay River, serving as a central hub for this coastal portion of Pamlico County. The 2013 landscape is defined by its intricate network of peninsulas and points, where land-based features like Poorhouse Point and Graveyard Point reflect a long history of local settlement and community infrastructure along the riverbanks. To the west, small hamlets such as Maribel and Swan Corner are connected by state routes that wind through the low-lying terrain near Parch Corn Bay and Swindell Bay. The map documents a contemporary coastal economy and residence pattern where roads like Lynch Beach Loop Rd provide access to the water's edge at Lynch Beach. From the northern reaches of Mesic to the southern tip near Florence, the geography is a detailed mosaic of tidal creeks and bays, including Mason Bay and Smith Creek, that have dictated the placement of homes and industry for generations.
